I have been shooting in camera RAW and then saving images in Tiff. For the BetterPhoto classes, I have been resizing these images to the required 750x500 pixels. Does this then cause the image to lose information when I want to enlarge it and print at 5x7 or 8x10?

Yes, this is causing you to lose a lot of information. Why don't you resize down and "save as"? Then go back to the original Tiff for the prints you're wanting to make. In fact, when I resize an image down and I want to keep it the same name I put the letter Z in front of it so I'll know that it is a small size and it's easy to find since it's at the bottom of the list.

Lori,I do have the Raw files and I am planning to go back to all of those images and re-create the adjustments in PS and save them again as TIFFs. It will be a lot of extra work, but I'm glad I realized the problem now. Thanks so much for your responses.
